The WADDI Gallery and Events

THE WADDI GALLERY & EVENTS

A purposefully imagined art gallery and private event venue located in the heart of historic Inman Park, steps from the Eastside Beltline trail, the WADDI provides the perfect backdrop for indoor and outdoor events from 10 - 200 attendees.

WADDI GALLERY

The WADDI sprang to life over a decade ago as the studios of artists Fahamu Pecou and Eben Dunn. After a tragic fire in 2018, the building was restored and reincarnated as a spacious art gallery with 14' ceilings and skylights that fill the space with natural light. Atlanta gallery veteran Shawn Vinson was recruited as curator and gallery director, bringing his longtime roster of local and internationally recognized artists to Inman Park. A large courtyard provides ample room for outdoor sculptures & live events. The WADDI is a short walk from the venerable Whitespace Gallery and Krog Street Market.

CURRENT EXHIBITION:
RUTH FRANKLIN: Old and New Dreams, a one-woman show of paintings and drawings, April 22 - May 14 + June 2 - July 2

ABOUT THE WADDI

The WADDI is housed in an old motor factory located off of Edgewood Avenue on Waddell Street. Originally constructed in 1930, the property was used to assemble motors that were then distributed via rail across the southeast. It later became the home of a furniture restoration company before being purchased in 2017 as an art studio. The studio was occupied by Atlanta-based artists Fahamu Pecou and Eben Dunn for several years. In 2018 the property experienced a tragic fire and had to be completely rebuilt - after which The WADDI gallery was born.
